Relatives and Chocolate Cookies...

It is great having a new baby. Apart from having a tiny little person around, you also get lovely visitors!

And in this case, there were chocolate cookies to consume as well! You will see that Lara is making the most of the opportunity presented by Auntie Val holding Rose to surripticiously help herself. Sensible really, as it seems when she is at home looking after both Rose and Ana by herself, eating is not something that is so easy to find time to do!

Sunrise

One of the pleasures of getting up early is that you can witness some lovely sky-painting. On this morning, the mist had not yet risen and so we had a stunning view of the church from the back window.

The Last Few Drops

The spoon is rather ineffective at getting the last little bit of milk. This has got to be the best way.

Ana's Breakfast

So, here is breakfast time. One bowl. Two spoons. And a vertible battle of the wills to see just how much cereal Daddy can get Ana to eat... but there are far too many other things to do at this time in the morning... who wants to eat?

Tutti-Fruity Dungy-Bungies

The great thing about having two girls is that you get to re-use your favourite baby clothes (assuming they survived round 1).

Rose is seen here sporting her multi-coloured dungarees set (which, as these things happen, are currently referred to in this house as dungy-bungies).

Rose's Little Feet

Is the reason that no baby socks stay on, that this allows wonderful photos of the new-born's tiny feet? Sock manufacturers are so thoughtful!

Happy Birthday Lara and Grandad!

A little gathering to celebrate Grandad's birthday with a shared cakey-sing-a-long of "Happy Birthday" for Lara and Grandad. Being generous people, they let Ana blow out the candles with them.

"Ana feeding Dandol"

So this has to have been the highlight of Ana's week.

Always a sucker for punishment, my elder brother allowed my not-yet-two-year old to feed him cereal...and milk. She LOVED it, and has kept repeating "Ana feeding Dandol" ever since...

Sorry for the photo Daniel.... (and Esme) - perhaps not the most flattering one ever taken...
